The River.

The rain has been pretty steady for the
past day or so, and il is understood that it
has been pretty general. Advices from
points above state that it is raining and q
coal boat stage is almost an assured fact.
There are now about 10, COO, 900 bushels OF
coal in the liver bed at Pittshurg waiting
for the rise, and in day CT 50 we may
expect TO see it passing down. The marks
on the landing last evening indicated 3
feet inches and falling. At Lock No. 1
at y. M, the marks were 8 feet inches
and stationary, weather rainy; at Morgan
town, foot inches and stationary,
weather rainy.

1t Is Completed, and Will be Presented to
the Manufacturers This Week.
The new steel workers scale, that will
be presented by the Amalgamated Associ-
alton to the manufacturers this week, was
formulated by the committee at Pittsburgh,
Saturday. If accepted by the steel men it
will go into effect on January /, but if
they refuse conference committee will be
appointed to discuss the matter. The new
scale provides for slight advance in some
departments, and it is thought by the men
that it will be accepted without any de-
bate.

THE LOST BOY"
SERMON PREACHED LAST EVENING By
REV. 4. L. JORDAN,
OF the Ris; Baptist Church, % the Young People,
and Illustrated By tie Sory Of Charley
Ross-A Large Audience Present.

Quite a large congregation was present
at the First Baptist Church last evening to
listen to 3 sermon preached by the pastor,
Rev. A. L. Jordan, 10 the young people,
large number of whom were pres
emit and the sermon Was listened TO with the
closest interest. The reverend gentleman
took his text from Luke Ky. 3, 4-"What
man of you having an hundred sheep, if he
lose one of them doth not leave the ninety
and nine in the wilderness aud 60 after
that which ia lost until he find it?"-and
said
Not without reason, says the great Dr..
LANCE, does the eye rest with continually
new interest on the picture, Jesus among
the publicans and sinners" II is the Cos
pei within the gospel
This Of itself is remarkable that the
greatest sinners feel themselves drawn as It
were with a secret attraction 70 Jesus
What an entirely unique impression must
his personality have produced upon these
troubled and smitten hearts. And that
which greatly intensifes the wonder Is
that these publicans and sinners should
come to Him at the close OF one OF the
most searching, incorporating dlscourses
He ever uttered. The Pharisees and
Saducees nurmured saying, This man
receiyeth sinners and eateth with them "
The Savior does not deny 1t, but an
swers at once by parable III which he ad-
mits their charge and vindiCates himself.
| Now, the
MEANING OF THAT PARABLE
and all kindred parallels Of our Lord finds
a most beautiful illustration in an incident
still fresh in the memory OF many OF us
the abduction of little Charley Ross.
The name Of no child in the world was
so familiar few years ago, or even now,
to adults And the circumstances under
which he was stolen from his home has
opened upon him tides Of unavsiling SYM
patty. He has been the object of more
thought and concern and prayers than any
child ever born on our shores, Not be-
cause be was more valuable or honorable,
but because of the strange, sad mystery
which surrounded his life.
. His mysterious disappearance, the tire
less, fruitless search for him by parents
and friends and the whole country, the
other children rescued from child
stealers, the Staying of the abductors
while rObbing a house, the confession OF
the dying Douglas, the death OF MOsher
before he could reveal the whereabouts OF
the child, and the mystery which still
hangs over the case, have invested his
name with an interest worldwide, and
| intense and this interest may be made even
more intense when we take it, rs God may
have designed, after all, az IN illustration
of higher Spiritual truths. We turn
then, to the text.
THE VALUE OF ONE HUMAN SOUL
is the first thought suggested.

that he was the father Of twins. His
